Look i don't really know what you're talking about because i'm not using achieving. If the problem is really Ecartis you do have to fix Ecartis. That's it. The econv program is a general purpose program that has to do a job, and it does it well. Its purpose is _not_ to fix other software bugs. Besides, your "fix" to econv won't work because you're going to add the mbox From line before Ecartis will add the Received line. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
